Spiders collected in Neighbourhood of Edinburgh. 5 
Typhocrestus digitatus (Cb.). 
This spider, of which we have obtained but a few specimens 
on the shores of the Forth in East Lothian, is an addition to 
the British fauna. It seems scarce on the Continent, though 
it has been taken at stations from the shores of the Bay of 
Biscay in North-west France to Marseilles on the Mediter- 
ranean, at Nuremberg in Silesia, and also in the Swiss Alps 
at the Great St Bernard. Mr Cambridge has recently 
redescribed the species from one of our specimens (Ann. 
Scot. Nat. Hist., 1894, p. 19). 
Luffness Links, near Aberlady, Sept. 1893, an ad. 6; Do., 5th Oct., 
another ad. ¢; Links behind Gullane, 9th Oct., twoad. és. 
Entelecara erythropus (Westr.). 
Walckenaéra erythropus, Cambr, Spid. Dorset. 
Not common, about a dozen specimens only having as yet 
been obtained by us, and these all in inland localities. In 
June 1861 Mr Cambridge found two adult males on a wall at 
the foot of the Pentlands above Currie, and described them 
as new to science under the name of Walckenaéra borealis. 
Apparently a summer spider. 
Kate’s Mill, near Colinton, 17th July 1893, ad. g ; Rosslyn, 25th July, 
ad. 6 and 9; Kirknewton, 9th Aug., ad. ¢ ; Dreghorn, on hedge, 26th June 
1894, ad. 6; Braid Hills, on furze, 30th June, ad. g and half dozen 9? s. 
Arzoncus humilis (B1.) 
Walckenaéra humilis, Bl. Spid. Great Brit. and Irel., and Cambr. Spid. 
Dorset. 
We have only met with this minute spider on one occasion, 
namely, on 9th Oct. 1893, when a few males and females 
were obtained among “ marram ” grass on the sandhills behind 
Gullane. In June and July 1861 Mr Cambridge found a 
number of adult males running on the pavements in the 
streets of Edinburgh. 
Arzoncus crassiceps (Westr.). 
Walckenaéra crassiceps + W. affinitata, Cambr. Spid. Dorset. 
A single specimen (an adult male) of this very rare spider 
was obtained on the margin of Loch Leven, close to Kinross, 
on 2nd June 1894,—an addition to the Scottish list.
